Probably inspired by most people’s habit of spinning a cup when they enjoy coffee or tea, designers have endowed this round-round-land cup with two layer saucers so that the cup would seem to move too while the upper saucer is spun. After that, something magical and interesting will then happen: the cup creates a merry-go-round effect as the images on the saucer are reflected onto platinum coated mirrors of the cup.

What would a coffee cup look like when it is placed in zero gravity? To find the answer, you need have a look at this mug.

20100416101

With no handle, the new coffee cup designed by Emi Schenkelbach asks you to hold it in hands so as to give you warmth during the cold winter.

Stackable Cups

20100405201

Clean and hygienic cups may be good for your health, but the large amount of electricity used to power the dish driers has become a matter of wrong for the nature and the nations worldwide.

If you’re still worried about the wet cups sticking to each other when you are airing them, Seung Jun Jeong and Seo Young Moon would like to recommend the Stackable Cups. As you can see from the pictures, the cute cup features some toothlike projections, which allow the air to pass through the cups to have them dried up quickly while preventing them to stick together.

Pick up a snout.

200912311001

One day, you went into the rest room, picked up a cup from the table, filled it with coffee, raised the cup to your mouth, and then you heard laughter all around…Why, you asked your workmates and they all pointed to the cup you were using. As the cup’s bottom is shaped like a snout, it just looks as if you have a snout too when you use the cup. Have fun!
